The U's have signed midfielder Karl Murray from neighbours Carshalton Athletic. Karl played more than 100 games for Shrewsbury in the Football League before spells with Woking and Grays, and he also had a short stay at The Lane on loan in Paul Doswell's first season in charge. "Karl is a player I know well", said Paul. "He has a lot of quality to his play and can play in a variety of roles, which is important given the shape of our squad."
